I again stumbled over a nice little Mac application. It is called Visor.
Visor provides a systemwide terminal window accessible via a hotkey, much like the consoles found in games such as Quake. Visor requires elements of Quartz only found in 10.4. Visor is compatible with 10.4 and higher only.
Visor is implemented as a bundle for SIMBLE (Smart InputManager Bundle Loader).
SIMBL (Smart InputManager Bundle Loader) – pronounced like “symbol” or “cymbal” allows you to build hacks for Cocoa applications and apply the code selectively based on an application’s unique identifier. It’s not really all that smart, or even clever, but it’s smarter than just blindly loading code into an application.
That’s how it looks like:
